Raw Chocolate Torte

This is something you have to try to believe! Containing only raw ingredients and absolutely no dairy, soy or gluten - this is a dessert that can be enjoyed by a large majority of people who are restricted by their diets! Let me know what you think!

Crust
2 c pecans (or pretty much any other nut combo you can think of)
8-10 medjool dates, pitted
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 pinch ground cardamom

In a food processor, grind the nuts until they are fairly well blended. Add the rest of the crust ingredients and process until well combined. Press into a deep dish pie plate and refrigerate while you make the filling.

Filling
1 c raw cashew butter
1 small avocado (yes - I said avocado)
1/2 c + 2 Tbsp raw cocoa powder
1/2 c agave necter
1/2 c melted coconut butter
1/4 c water
1 Tbsp vanilla

Rinse out the food processor. In the food processor, blend all filling ingredients until smooth. Scrape filling into crust and chill for 3-4 hours.

This is great on its own or served with berries! Enjoy!
